I mean seriously...First I want to make just a SIMPLE animation to keep my self warmed up for any upcoming huge projects or something...But In the first 50 frames I get bored so quickly. And It's getting on my nerves. I need some help to become a lover of animations once again D:

Watch animations,anime,movies..Gather ideas,try to animate what comes to your mind..if not..find someone to battle you..You'll be forced to animate,cause ya know..Who wants to lose a battle.

When i get bored of animating i think to myself what inspired me in the first place and go back to it or i take a break from it and do something else.

Set this as your Desktop Wallpaper, and you'll get maximum motivation

Listen to music beforehand to get pumped, but when you start animating don't listen to music at all. Music when animating makes you focus on two things at once, it gets in the way of focus, and focus is what you need.

Considering how many forfeits there have been, I'd say it doesn't help as many people as you think.

This is brilliant.

On topic, all I can say is that you lack discipline. Of course you would get bored after working months on a single idea. Everyone does. I mean, it's so tempting to just drop it and work on a new "cool" idea but that's bad.

Adding to Zero's statement, you also lack patience. Animating takes a LONG while to develop and it's easy to lose interest when your feel like you're not getting the immediate gratification of seeing a finished creation.

yeah it seems like any RHG with 3 or more battles has at least one battle where the opponent forfeit. or they forfeit.

Well it depends if you want to be an animator, you should work harder. I meant, just do it! Make ur dreams come truee D:<

But if it's only for hobby to bring fun and hype to yourself, well, just animate as long as you feel happy. Don't get stress with it if it's only for hobby

Or you want to make your hobby (animate) to join a competition or something that contains prizes X) well just do it! D:

If you feel tired, you can take a rest for a while xD pushing yourself may bring u stress

I just realized why I get so bored and stressed from making animations :o It's because I do everything at once. Wich makes me have a hard time completting my goal.
